whats the easiest way to add a zigbee hub
Buy a zigbee hub, the put it in a bucket of wet cement. Let it dry. Then buy a boat. Sail out to sea. Drop the lump of cement into the sea. Go home. Buy an Alexa or similar.

In theory you can just dot around a load of mains powered zigbee stuff and it should work as extenders. Unless you have a massive garden then something at the end of the house and something else in the summerhouse should do the job.
IKEA sell specific repeaters. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/tradfri-signal-repeater-80424255/
I found Zigbee and HA was a bit shit when I was using zigbee2mqtt, using the other Zigbee integration works much better.

getting my summerhouse powered and networked up.
if i have a HA instance running on a machine under my stairs indoors whats the easiest way to add a zigbee hub out in the summerhouse that can talk to it so i can put stuff like my smart hygrometer out there? all running on same network.
note i have a conbee 2 usb hub plugged into the back of my HA machine which i want to retain use of for indoor devices.
